Satham Podathey & Cheeni Kum songs rock.....
As I said already in my previous post...the musical feast continues with the audio release of Satham Podathey & a big surprise from Illayaraja in cheeni Kum...It is a pleasurable musical journey back to the 1980's....all the songs are the re-mixes of his evergreen Tamil hits....
SATHAM PODATHEY:
"Pesugiren..Pesugiren..."is the pick of the lot.... well tried by Viva girls...didn't expect such a clarity of tamil from them.... a daring and to-be well applaudable one....
"Endha Kudirayil.." is the next best one in the album... As usual Shreya has shown her supremacy but Rahul Nambiar's very good voice seems to get dampened by the background beats....yet well attemped one
There was a much hype on "Kadhal Periyadha.." song.... sung by the renowned carnatic legend Sudha Raghunathan...she has attempted a much "rappy" number showing her versatility...but the tune could have been made still more better... yet a must-hear song...
The other two songs "Oh..Oh..Kadhal" rendered by Adnan Sami & Yuvan himself and "Azhagu kutty" are equally good.The former shows us the usual Yuvan & the latter has a rather harsh-sounding Shankar Mahadevan(the song is actually a lullaby...the sources say) but doesn't fall out of expectations....
Rating: ****1/2
CHEENI KUM :
Illayaraja is Illayaraja...none can beat him....wah..soothing remixes from him....No words to describe..only the listener can feel it....Shreya Ghoshal has rendered almost all the songs...
The album starts with "cheeni Kum" the rehash of the "Mandram vantho"(Mouna raagam), then "Baatein Hawa" (Kuzhaloodum kannanukku...from mella thirandhadu kadhavu), "Jane do naa"(Vizhiyile song from 'nooravathu naal')....feeling nostalgic??everything followed by a sax-melody....of international standards....Don't missthis album at any cost
